"Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for whoever loves others has fulfilled the law." -Romans 13:8 (NIV)
When listening to one of my local radio stations, you can hear a number of hosts giving financial advice and their own methods for getting out of debt. Financial debt is one concern, but we also can carry other debts in our lives. As we strive to become better each day, we can consider clearing our debts, except for one!
We should try to pay our financial debts, but we should also consider the other debts that we may owe. There are times when we may hold grudges. We may not offer forgiveness as readily as we should. There are times when we may not honor others. In all of these circumstances, we can learn to erase these debts through God's love. By owing nothing but love to others can help us fulfill our calling as Christians. As followers of God, we can turn our attention to loving those around us as well as ourselves. In this way, we can work to get rid of all our debts except love!
Focus on God's love and on having one debt: to love each other!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for loving me. Help me to make progress in erasing all debt except the debt of love for all others. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
